If you can swing the budget a bit higher, and get the student discount + flip free ipod touch, a Macbook Pro 13" would be perfect for you. If not, you can always get the older unibody Macbook 13" on eBay for about $900ish. 12-14"? Check. 13.3" Multiple OS's? Check. My friend is using Visual...

Just another [H] enthusiast who knows the difference between good apples and expired rotten apples ;) d

The one with the 9400m is substantially better than the x3100 Air. They are almost two different machines. The Rev. A MBA (x3100) has a slow PATA interface for the HDD compared to the Rev. B MBA (9400m)'s SATA interface. The Rev. A MBA also uses MiniDVI, sometimes have core shutdowns from the...

Let's just say I make money with my Apple computer, and lose money with my gaming computer ;)

lol @ the name calling, but yeah, you're right though -- it's an investment. I can't say the same for my gaming computer...

Much better than the Intel x3100 in previous macbooks by far. And when I mean great, I mean native resolution, all medium. 30+ FPS. Good enough for me for some casual gaming considering the IGP nature of the GPU. Sure, it doesn't compare to my 8800GT at 1920x1200 Very High, but I have less...

Yeah I've played L4D on my prior 8600m GT MBP, and now it still plays great on the 9400m in my uMB.

They stopped updating IE for OSX for a long time. I personally use IE6/7/8 with Multiple IE in XP Sp3 through VMware Fusion

That's a late 2008 screen like mine. Its made by AU Optronics. Apparently, it's suppose to be better than the 9C89. I still use my Dell 2407wfp-hc when I get a chance. Watching a movie on the macbook screen is turning my body into a tripod -- if I move up or down, I can't see a thing. =)

You can use coconut battery to tell you the age of your mac. From System Preferences, if you go to Displays->Color Click Color LCD Click Open Profile Go down to mmod And see the value in the model section. I have a 9C89, which apparently is the worst one, but still looks great to me...

MX1000, then MX Revolution. I have yet to own the MX1100, but I loved it at the store. Great successor to the 1000.

The newer Macbooks have marginally better screens than the ones released in Late 2008. I have a Late 2008 and with the correct color profile and viewing angle it looks fine. Otherwise I have to depend on my external PVA panel when I really need to get stuff done.

I went from a SR 15.4 MBP to a 2.4 uMB and I'm really enjoying the change. While stacked on top of each other the size difference isn't really noticeable, but once you pick up the machine there's a world of difference in terms of how rigid the Unibody construction really is. I'm also a fan of...

My CPU runs at 41C after being on for quite a while. Still beats my older SR MBP.
